    Guarantee and Software licence
    

    The Tagline Manager is copyrighted software, with all rights reserved
    by the author, which the author encourages everyone to share and to
    use freely.  The terms and conditions of the software licence, and the
    guarantee information, are contained in the on-line help document
    TAGMGR.HLP .


    Installation to a dedicated directory
    

    To install the tagline manager to a directory dedicated to holding it,
    such as C:\TAGMGR, for example, simply unpack the distribution archive
    into that directory.

        PKZIP -extract -dir=curr TAGMGR C:\APPS\TAGMGR\ *

    ( This assumes that the distribution archive that you received was in
      ZIP format, and that you are using PKZIP version 2.50 for OS/2. )

    You will then need to add the directory to the PATH and HELP
    environment variables.  For example, if you have unpacked the tagline
    manager into the C:\APPS\TAGMGR directory, you will need to either

        (a) Create a *.CMD file with the following statements in it

                PATH C:\APPS\TAGMGR;%PATH%
                SET HELP=C:\APPS\TAGMGR;%HELP%

            which you then execute before using the tagline manager; or

        (b) Add C:\TAGMGR to the PATH and HELP environment variables in
            CONFIG.SYS and restart your system.


    Installation to a multipurpose directory
    

    If you already have general purpose catch-all directories where you
    like to store your third-party tools, message files, and on-line help
    files, then you simply need to extract the relevant parts of the
    distribution archive into the different directories.

    For example, if your general-purpose directory for executables is
    C:\LOCAL\BIN, and for help files is C:\LOCAL\HELP, then you need to
    extract as follows:

        PKZIP -extract -dir=none TAGMGR C:\LOCAL\BIN\ *.EXE
        PKZIP -extract -dir=none TAGMGR C:\LOCAL\HELP\ *.HLP

    ( This assumes that the distribution archive that you received was in
      ZIP format, and that you are using PKZIP version 2.50 for OS/2. )


    Getting started
    

    The various command-line options, how TAGMGR can interface to off-line
    reader programs, and how to invoke TAGMGR in non-interactive mode, are
    all explained in the on-line help.  To view the on-line help for the
    tagline manager, start it with the command

        TAGMGR

    and select "Help" and "Help Contents" from the menu.

    To start TAGMGR and proceed directly to the help for the command-line
    optoins, use the /? option, which must be the first option on the
    command line. i.e.

        TAGMGR /?
